James@Amber 37 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Before we start the big build, we wanted some std figures to work from, car made 179.4hp.......don't know if I'm surprised or not at the lack of power from a car only a couple of years old. The car was weighed with all fluids topped up, fuel, coolant, window washer fluid etc. Everything was taken out of the car, we even emptied the glove box! results below : The car was weighed with all fluids topped up, fuel, coolant, window washer fluid etc. Everything was taken out of the car, we even emptied the glove box! results below : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James@Amber 37 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Fitted the new TRD push button start, watching all the videos on youtube you have to take half the dash apart, but if you have small enough hands it turns out you can just take the side plastic trim off, and pop the old push button start out, and clip the new one in.......2 minute job ! : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Good stuff. Sounds like you're building a car just like mine! I have 17x8 TE37's, albeit powder coated they came in at 7.4kg. I've already got the Tein suspension and the TRD start button! Are you going for EDFC? 1 James@Amber reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The car will be going up to Tein for installation next week, then will come the fun task of setting it up :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Yukiko is very good at setup as you would expect. Did you go for the 6/6kg spring rates? After much fiddling with the EDFC I came up with some good custom settings. It takes a little while to get a feel for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a little while to get a feel for it. we have 7/7kgs on the kit we have....we will see how they feel, and change the springs if required once the weight starts to drop off.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 9, 2015 That's what they come with stock. I think you'll find it a tad hard on the road. Great for track of course. I run 5/6kg whilst Keith and Dave have 6/6kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I run 5/6kg whilst Keith and Dave have 6/6kg. im used to stiff springs on my cars, i used to use Monoflex on my GTO TT on the road ! this is much lighter, so will adjust accordingly depending on how if feels. luckily Tein are only 15 minutes from me, so i can send it up there when-even i need cheers james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James@Amber 37 Report post Posted May 18, 2015 perfectly :-) the body shop were really impressed with the fit of it all. the rear diffuser was a bit of a pig to fit as the bumper has to come off, apart from that all went straight on. cheers James 1 Tareim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dankool 25 Report post Posted May 18, 2015 Nice wing finally some one else with a APR WING. I need that roof how much is it?? also want that APR lip lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James@Amber 37 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Looks great. How does the carbon roof panel fit ? Seibon do 2 roof panels. a dry carbon replacement, and a wet carbon roof cover. We opted for the roof cover that is bonded on, the main reason we decided on this option so all the carbon would match all over the car. a dry carbon roof with all other panels gloss would look a bit odd ! http://www.amber-performance.co.uk/section.php?xSec=8504&xPage=1 cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
